The GStreamer project has released version 1.26.8, marking the eighth maintenance update for the GStreamer 1.26 series, a prominent open-source multimedia framework. This update, which comes nearly a month after version 1.26.7, enhances HDR video playback for GNOME’s Showtime video player, resolving an issue that caused washed-out colors when subtitles were displayed.
Additionally, GStreamer 1.26.8 introduces Rust support for 32-bit (x86) Linux through the Cerbero package builder. Other improvements include a more flexible latency advertisement for the x265 encoder, optimizing performance for elements with numerous source pads, and improved AAC parser support for streams with infrequent LOAS configuration.
The update also addresses various issues, including duplicate frames in the AV1 parser, EAC3 bitrate calculations, ID3 tag handling, and the parsing of specific flags in the rtpvp9pay element. Other bug fixes enhance the gtk4painablesink element, marker bit management in the rtpbaseaudiopay2 element, and the V4L2 device monitor.
